One Year!

Today marks one year of marriage for Josh and I. It has been a great year - in fact it doesnt even feel like its been a year. I guess its true what they say: time flies when you're having fun!

Some wedding day favorites:

And a few from last night before dinner:

Farmers Market Loot

Organic deliciousness - Yum!

Reason #621 that Farmers Markets rule: The Heirloom tomatoes (my favorite) were only $2 per pound - much better than the $5.99 per pound I paid at Whole Foods a few weeks ago!

29

Dear Josh:

Happy 29th Birthday!!!

I'm so glad we're the same age again. Hurry up and come home from work so you can open your presents and we can start celebrating.

Love,

Laura

Guess what?

If all goes according to plan Josh and I will be home-owners soon!!!
We have been looking at homes for the past month and found out this past Tuesday that our offer on our number 1 choice was accepted. Inspection and appraisal are next week so please keep your fingers crossed that nothing big comes up. We are extremely excited but also nervous about this major purchase!

Cupcake anyone?

I was bored this afternoon so I decided to try something creative with soap. I made these cute calorie-free treats. The 'cake' part is scented with buttercream & snickerdoodle fragrance and the 'frosting' is scented pearberry. They smell delish and I kind of wish I could bite into one ...

Apparently I have way too much time on my hands ...

What the ?!?!

We had a bizarre mishap in the kitchen yesterday. Josh had just heated up some leftover risotto in the microwave and was stirring it to make sure it was evenly heated. I had my back to him when I heard a crash and I whipped around to this scene:

Apparently the bottom had fallen out of the bowl! The bowl was in one piece and then all of a sudden it cracked in a perfect circle and the bottom just fell out - I've never seen anything like it. Pure madness! Josh was really disappointed that his snack was all over the floor and contemplated scooping it up and eating it before common sense set in.

Now we're nervous to use the rest of those bowls which is a pity because I really like them.

Wedding Planning again!!!

One of my co-workers is planning her sister-in-law's wedding and asked me if I would help her and of course I could barely get the words "yes of course" out of my mouth fast enough! I really, REALLY loved planning my wedding so I am super excited to help out on this one. The wedding is in January and the couple wants to have an engagement party next month so we went out to the marina on Sunday and I took some engagement pictures of them. It was my first attempt at taking portraits of people and it was a lot more difficult that I thought it would be - the professionals make it look so easy! Here are some of my favorites ...
